One of the most important moments for women is when the love of their lives gives them the engagement ring, not for what it is worth, but for what it symbolizes: a promise to unite their lives for life.
Today there are rings of different sizes, colors, stones, and styles. Every woman has her tastes and (hopefully) her boyfriend should know perfectly well which one her future wife would choose.
Now technically the engagement ring should be equivalent to three months the salary of the man who decides to give it to the one he considers the ideal woman to share the rest of his life with, but celebrities have no limit when it comes to glamor.
Here’s a list of the 20 most expensive engagement rings in the world.
